Congratulations Magneto has made it into the fic, rejoice! Sorry it took so long, I've had a hard time figuring out how to get to the next important parts. I'll work on thinking things through faster, or I'll do the flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants-and-hope-it-all-wor ks-out method. Anyways, thanks for lurking, thanks for reading and thanks for reviewing!
Chapter 60
"Do you not know who I am then?" Eric asked leaning back in his seat, watching Naomi stand resolutely where she was.
She sighed, "I'm guessing your a mutant or a really crazy human."
He chuckled, "If any of them in that school would mention me they would know me as Magneto."
"Oh." That name she'd heard. "I thought you got a super dose of the cure."
Nodding he motioned again for her to take a seat, her belt buckle pulled her forward until she was standing in front of the chair. Reluctantly she took a seat. "But just as it wore off with your friend Rogue, the effects are beginning to wear off. Like any other unused muscle I have been working to regain the strength I once had." The metal teapot that was sitting on the table levitate and pour a cup for her. "What do they say about me?"
"That you were powerful and that because of you lots of people died. You tried to start a war."
"Many people tried to start a war my dear, I won't take all the credit for that." He sipped his tea and smiled. "I'm sure you're wondering why I had you escorted here."
"I'm sure it had something to do with taking over the world, you seem the type." She was slouching in the chair with her arms crossed, "What ever it is I don't want any part of it."
"Do you have any idea the extent of your powers, Naomi?" There was a glimmer in his eyes, apparently he had an idea of exactly what she could do, Naomi wasn't liking that look, "I've been told that you have quite the repertoire of abilities your powers have given you. And I'm sure there's more to come."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Do you honestly think that going to that school will help you to reach your full potential?" He asked, he put his tea down finally and leaned back in the chair, "They're not trying to teach you or any of you control, all they are doing is showing you to repress who you are and become like any other normal human."
Her shadow trembled under the table at his words while she held her hands in fists to keep it from jumping and slicing Magneto into smaller bits. "They saved me, don't you dare try and tell me what they're doing is wrong."
"Oh yes I saw it on the news," He smirked and glanced at the carousel it started again, this time in reverse, "You do come from quite the violent household, do you have that hot blooded temper like your father?"
The shadow coiled up behind him, beginning to split itself into sharp, jagged points the more he spoke. Naomi forced it away, it fled into darker parts of the park, "I'm nothing like him! I'm leaving."
Her belt buckle pressed into her, she gasped as it started to push harder and harder on her midsection. "I don't believe we've concluded our business."
She glared and pulled in her shadow, and all the others that it had come in contact with since coming to the park, "No, we're done." They wrapped around her first, taking her and leaving the belt behind. She reappeared standing beside the chair, "I don't want anything to do with you or any of your plans," her skin was its ebony shade, there wasn't a single glimmer to it, her hair and eyes were white. "Leave me alone, I don't want to hear from your or any of your lackeys again." Shadows coiled in around Eric from every direction each one a smooth sharp point aimed at his being. "Understand?"
Eric chuckled, "Lovely display, though I was hoping for something a little more." He glanced at the shadows around him, "Amazing how they become solid enough to withstand light."
Naomi realized he'd wanted her to get mad. He'd wanted to see if what he'd been told was true. She'd walked right into it. Slowly the shadows coiled back and went to where they had come from. Her own remained coiled, and agitated, around her feet. She was still glaring, "Are we done then, you saw what you wanted."
Smiling Eric gave a slight shrug, "Well that all depends, is what Pryo tells me true?"
She didn't want to know what else Pyro had told him, she left him sitting there.
Naomi slammed the car door and put her head against the steering wheel, Magneto was right. She was becoming more and more dangerous to be around. Her hands were still shaking from what she'd done. She quickly dropped them into her lap and held her hands in fists to try and stop the shaking. She'd almost let the shadows cut him apart. She'd wanted to pull an overshadow, she wanted to make him suffer, how dare he say any of those things about her.
She watched Pyro walk out from the park, smile, wave, and climb onto his bike. He pulled over to her car and tapped her phone on the window. She sighed and opened the window, "You want this right?"
Naomi took it without a word and turned the car over, she drove away before he could. She drove through a shadow and out into the parking lot of the school. Her phone went off again. Rune.
"Where are you? No one's at your house, not even you parents, Rael called them, they're out of town. What's going on?"
Sighing she ran a hand through her hair, "I'm at the school. It was nothing, I'm fine. I lost track of Pyro, its all okay. I'll see you back here." She hung up, she didn't want to worry anyone. It was her problem, she'd tell Hank and Storm that Magneto was regaining his powers and he was after something... They'd want to know how she knew... Groaning she banged her head on the steering wheel. "What am I going to do?"
